Hopping with the Stampers Dozen Sale-a-bration Style

Hello Stamping Friends,

So happy to be here tonight sharing with you a few things from the Sale-a-bration campaign currently going on. You know - the best time of the year - FREE STUFF for everyone.

Tonight is the monthly blog hop with the Stampers Dozen bloggers so don't forget to scroll down to keep hopping and getting more inspiration from other great stampers.

I wanted to use the Corner Bouquet and the Heal Your Heart Sale-a-bration stamp sets. I must say, I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I wanted to use them. Pure determination. After the card was completed, I was very pleased with my end result. Love when that happens. 

  

I also used the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper for the background which I think seriously added to what I was going for. The Heal Your Heart stamp set is great because it has both outside and inside greetings. I love sets that do that. So the "thank you" stamp pairs up great with the "I don't know what I would do without you" stamp. 

My color scheme came from the designer paper - misty moonlight, bumblebee, and mossy meadow. If you are unsure of what colors to put together check out your designer paper packs for color combinations.

Sneak Peek for the Mini Catalog Debuting on Tuesday

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm excited to be sharing with you tonight along with the Sisters in Stamping. We have been blogging together for years now. Actually, Debbie Naylor is the reason I started blogging in the first place. We became friends at one of Stampin' Up!'s conventions many years ago and she encouraged me to begin blogging. As you know, we did Fabulous Friday posts all of these year. For 2021, we decided to shake things up and give ourselves a refresh. We will now be posting Sunday Fun Days. I'm so excited and looking forward to continue sharing with you on our new day. Thanks for supporting us each week for years.

Isn't that a fun graphic for our new day. To me it screams fun. Confetti always means good times and party. We think you will agree. Thanks Debbie for making this great graphic for us. 

Today's Fun Day is a sneak peek into the new Mini Catalog that begins on Tuesday. I sent out catalogs to many of you. With the current state of the post office I know many have not received your personal copy yet. I always send myself one just so I know when many of you would have them in your mailboxes and I haven't received my copy yet either. Let me know and I can get one to you.

I love this card. It is a pretty card and it isn't too difficult to make multiples of. Of course, my birthday is this week so how appropriate for me to make a birthday card using two of my favorite colors: pink and green.

I used the Pretty Perennials Stamp set for the flowers and the greetings. It's a great set to make many different types of cards. I also used the birch background stamp to add some "texture" to my background. The little piece of ribbon on the corner is the perfect little accessory to finish off this birthday card.

Don't forget the new mini catalog goes live on Tuesday, as well as the Sale-a-bration catalog. Sale-a-bration this year will be two months early in the year and then another two months in July and August. I'm so excited about this change and know you will love it too. Remember, Sale-a-bration is a great time for all to get something for FREE. With just a $50 order (before shipping and tax) you get to select something from the SAB catalog for FREE. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for even more sneak peeks for the mini catalog.

Holiday Happenings Blog Hop with Stampers Dozen

Hello Stamping Friends,

I hope you are all well today. I know we are gearing up for a nice snowstorm on Wednesday. I legitimately needed milk today and I guess everyone was out getting their bread, eggs, and milk for the storm. The grocery store was busy and had long checkout lines. Somehow, I always seriously go to the store for things that we are out of and that seems to be when there's a storm coming and everyone else has the same idea. You would have thought it was a Saturday or Sunday.

Anyway, tonight we have a great hop with the Stampers Dozen group that is full of holiday happenings. Be sure to scroll to the bottom so you can continue hopping by clicking the links below.

I decided to go with a great little treat that you can pass out to everyone you may meet from now until Christmas. I used the Wonders of the Season Memories and More card pack to make a super cute but easy tag to attach to a sweet bag of hot cocoa kisses. Who wouldn't want this treat to "warm" the holidays a bit?

I also used the 6"x6" Tis the Season designer series paper to put behind the card tag and backed that with some shaded spruce cardstock. I used the All the Trimmings Ribbon to attach the three pieces of the tag together as well as attach to the bag.  The finishing touch on the tag was the Snowflake adhesive backed embellishments. In person, it completes the look perfectly. There's just the right amount of shimmer to make the treat a little more festive and fun to receive.

By leaving the pieces loose instead of attaching the layers together, you can write a "sweet" message to the recipient. 

Remember, keep scrolling so you can continue hopping along to be treated to more Holiday Happenings with the Stampers Dozen.

Thanks for stopping by.

Time for Some Traditional Christmas Cards

Hello Stamping Friends,

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with your family. We had a wonderful day with family. Today the Sisters in Stamping are sharing with you some great Christmas cards using traditional Christmas colors of red and green.

I used the stocking from the Tag Buffet stamp set for my card. So easy to stick with this week's theme of traditional colors when you use some Christmas stockings. Just thinking, wouldn't they be the cutest thing if you handwrite a name on the cuff of each one? 

I even dressed up the inside with the greeting from the set and the sweet little holly leaves and berries. I really like the double layers on the inside. I used Stampin' Blends to color in the stockings and the holly leaves and berries. 

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more red and green Christmas cards.

Thankful, Grateful, & Blessed Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's time for another fabulous blog hop with Stampers Dozen.  Crazy how fast a month goes by. This month we are sharing thankful, grateful, and blessed projects. November is a great time to slow down and take time to think about all those things in our lives that we are thankful for, the things we are grateful for, and things we realize how  completely blessed we are. 

I think this card is a perfect card to let someone special to you know that you are thinking of them this month and are grateful and thankful for them. It's a simple,  yet perfect fall card to send to someone special.

The Life is Beautiful stamp set is such a versatile set that you can use for each season of the year. I love when a stamp set can be used all year long and look completely different. I also used the gilded autumn specialty designer series paper. The paper is so pretty with the gold elements, but I chose to use just the striped side and am so happy with the overall look. 

Don't forget to keep hopping. You won't want to miss out on more great projects.

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's Friday, woohoo!!!! I hope you had a good week and have some great plans for the weekend. This week with Sisters in Stamping we are sharing some great fall cards with you. I know many are in Christmas mode, but we are hanging on to fall just a bit longer. There's still plenty of fall to be enjoyed and we don't want to rush it, although I understand why many are.

I absolutely love how this card turned out. I love the look of stacked pumpkins. We don't have a stamp that is stacked pumpkins, but you can easily achieve the look by stamping five pumpkins from the
